Joost van Ginkel (1971, The Netherlands) produced his first short film SAND (2008) by himself. SAND was selected for the 2008 Venice Film Festival, won 13 international awards and was the Dutch submission for the Academy Award Best Live Action Short. His second short film KISS (2009) was selected for the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival. His first feature film, 170 HZ, was nominated for Best Actress and Best Sound Design and won the YouthMovieSquad Award and the Public's Choice Award at the 2011 Netherlands Film Festival. 170 HZ was also selected for the 2011 Busan International Film Festival.

In his second feature film THE PARADISE SUITE (2015), the lives of six people, who seem to have nothing more in common than their faraway homelands, become inextricably linked in Amsterdam, the city they have chosen as their new home. THE PARADISE SUITE is a profound and lyrical reflection on human resilience in the face of ongoing evil within 21st Century Europe. THE PARADISE SUITE has been chosen as the official entry from the Netherlands for Academy Award in the Best Foreign Language Film category, and had its world premieres at International Film Festival Toronto 2015 in the Discovery section.

Currently, Joost is working on his 3rd feature film BO.
